I have been running 2 MC252 amps for awhile now and always go back to my C52 for the preamp. Rotel, Bryston and even and old Soundcraftsmen SP4002 just can never keep the Mac out of the lineup. I also do love and use the EQ on the Mac as I listen to many types and ages of music and find the EQ very helpful.
Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh
Any suggestions for a "synergistic" combination between McIntosh MC 601 monoblocks? I have some pre-amp problems and am thinking of replacing the pre-amp.
Stick with a McIntosh pre-amp? Go with something else? Tube or solid-state? The input impedance on the 601's is 22K. Speakers are Revels Ultima Salon 2's with a pair of Rel Subs.
Thanks.
PS
If you hate McIntosh there's really no need to post. Heck, I already know that I'm an uncultured idiot who can't hear real sound and wasted my money etc. I originally wanted the Levinson 53's, but they were out of my range.
